I have copied the instructions for posting your photos here: If you have any questions, post it here and DragonLady will be able answer any technical questions and I will try to address any content questions. Once all the photos are posted in the gallery, I will set up a poll for the Intermediate to Advanced category in this Thread.

Quote12-16-18 through 12-23-18:

Post three photos of the dress (front, back, side) on the intended wearer in the Dress Challenge gallery that Dragon Lady has already set up. Both Beginner to Intermediate and Intermediate to Advanced post in the same gallery

You can crop off "heads" (I always do!!!) but otherwise the photos of the dress should be of the dress on a person.

Include a description that includes:

Which contest you are entering (Beginner to Intermediate or Intermediate to Advanced)

The "name" of your creation, for example, something like CCL V9428 or CCL's Hippie throwback - Keep in mind that this is the name we will use in the poll for voting.

There is apparently no way to rearrange the order, as I found out the first time I tried... so what I did was delete those, and upload them one at a time, starting with the one I wanted to be the last image... and then the next to last, and so on, finally with the one I wanted to be first, the sketch of my idea...

Yes; upload them one at a time, or put numbers as the first character in the title, and they should arrange themselves -let me know if they don't.

Ummm Dragonlady... I just tried to post a fifth photo to the gallery, and put the number 5 as the first character in the title, but it still posted as the first item, not the fifth... and I carefully added the numbers 1 through 4 to the other titles beforehand...

Edited to add... apparently if I change the boxes at the top of the gallery to "sort by Title", and "ascending order" it sorts the photos the way I want them... there are a lot of other options though and I didn't realise that the sorting was set up differently

No, it doesn't matter in what order your photos are in. The only requirements for the photos are that there be a photo of the side, front and back views of the garment on the person for whom the garment was made and then a description/or photo of the "new thing."

Introducing the Intermediate to Advanced entrants: This is going to be difficult! Here's a link to the gallery so you can see all the views as I have only included thumbnails of fronts of each dress.Link to Dress Challenge Gallery Such gorgeous dresses, such spendid sewists!

Before I voted, when I signed in there was a "poll" at the top of the page with ticky-dots one could click on to make a choice. Once the choice is made, the option to vote disappears and it only shows how many votes each person has. And a square button that says "remove vote" in case we decide we voted in error and want to change our choice

Hi Mudcat... I can't see what others see of course, but IndigoTiger is correct. As it was intended, there should be a poll at the top of this thread which has the "names" of each of the contestant's entries as the options. You can vote for your choice (the poll disappears and just the results show) and if you change your mind, you can remove your vote, the poll reappears, and and you can vote again. I will lock the votes once voting closes.

Thank you all! Those who voted for my entry, and to CCL for sponsoring this challenge, and to the others who entered and completed a dress... we are all winners in that hopefully we each gained something useful from the effort. I know I learned quite a bit in the process!
